Khalid looks pretty pissed off in that picture. So, what was he so upset about? Cola and orange soda sounds really nasty! :P I don't really care much for margaritas either. My favorite drink is Kahlua and cream. Vodka with any fruit juice is pretty good too. I hope that cabbie didn't charge you for the time he spent drinking his tea! But, I suppose its better to have a fully caffeinated cabbie than a sleepy one. ;) I would really need to have some fried pork sausage in the peppers, zucchinis, and onions. :)

If I eat an appetizer I'm mostly full when the entrée arrives anyway, although I suppose it depends on the size and number of appetizers. Btw, I thought that Mezzo Mix was Coke + Fanta? I suppose that Fanta is technically "orange" pop, but I imagine you'd say Fanta if that were what it was? Why wouldn’t you eat baba ghanoush for dinner?

And the alcohol had nothing to do with my diary, grrr. Lol, Khalid wasn't upset; no-one knows why he made that face. :) And Mezzo Mix is teh yum!!! @ Frans: Well, for the average meat eating Arab someone eating one of the cheapest and most picturesque (camel riding Arab in tent) appetizers for dinner is apparently highly amusing. Well, I tend to call it coke and Fanta mix, but if you actually mix the two you just can't get the Mezzo Mix taste. @ David: Pffff, meat eaters.
